1171 Unexpected Reaction
His Highness carefully read the letters Ah Pao brought back. After reading them, he stuffed them back into the envelope intact and gently placed them on the small table next to him. He looked up at the three people standing in front of him. Seeing their nervous, worried and anxious expressions on their faces, he showed a faint smile.
"Your Highness, you..." Apiao looked at the little prince with concern. She felt a little nervous, not sure what was going on with this reaction. She took a deep breath and asked carefully, "You..."
The little prince raised his hand, shook it at her twice, and interrupted what she was going to say next.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
"But..." Apiao stared at her for a long time, but she didn't seem to see any sign of nothing in the other person's face.
"No need to observe, I'm really fine." His Highness smiled. "When you came in, you were so cautious and anxious because you were afraid that I would be sad when you saw this?" Seeing the three people nodding silently, she smiled again, "I'm not angry about this. They are not worthy of my emotional fluctuations."
"What does this... mean?"
"Don't worry, I'll explain slowly." His Highness pointed to the position in front of him, "Okay, sit down first. If you have anything to say, let's sit down before talking."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Apiao reached out and pulled Hei Lu'er beside him, winked at Wu Shu Dan, and sat cross-legged in front of his highness. She poured tea for everyone, including herself, "Your Highness, this is not a small matter. Wanyan Qingmu actually let the Japanese set fire to the gathering place of the tribe members. None of the tribe members survived from the tribe leader to the ordinary tribe members. This is a big matter."
"It's indeed a big deal, but it's not as big as you think. What should I say? It's expected. Because of the plan, there's nothing to be shocked or angry."
"You've thought of it before?"
"Well, it's going to happen sooner or later." The little prince curled up the corners of his lips and showed a cold smile. "As a result of such an ending, they... took it upon themselves? They found it themselves."
"Ah?" Apiao looked at the little prince in confusion, "What does this... mean?" She narrowed her eyes and looked at the little prince, "Your reaction is beyond our expectations. Are you a little gloating?"
"I'm right, I'm indeed a little gloating, but I should have breathed a sigh of relief. I've been looking forward to the ending for a long time and finally appeared. I'm really happy and happy for them."
"Your Highness, what you said is too..." Wu Shu Dan took a sip of tea, "Are you having a holiday between you? Otherwise, as a member of the clan, you shouldn't have reacted this way. After all, they are your blood relatives, right? With the one you protect your shortcomings..." Seeing the little prince narrowing his eyes, he swallowed the word "The word "was not reciprocating this advantage, you are indifferent. So, your reaction now is that they have offended you."
"The analysis is correct. It is okay to ask me to protect my short-term security, but the premise is whether they treat me, my sister, and even our mother as tribe members." The little prince raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you think the patriarch and elders know or don't know what my aunt did in the early years?"
"Your Highness has already asked, so I think they should know what my aunt did."
"Does the light know?"
"This sentence has a deeper meaning!" Wu Shudan touched his chin, "In other words, my aunt plotted against the two princesses. The patriarch and elders not only knew that it was probably indulging and acquiescent, right?"
"Smart!" The little prince snapped his fingers, "It's not just indulging, acquiescent, and think deeper."
"Are you colluding with your lord?" Seeing the little prince nodding with satisfaction, Apiao thought for a while and said, "As soon as your lord reminds me, I remembered it. You once said that the patriarch and elders do not accept the existence of you and His Highness Wanyan Ping, and even the existence of the two princesses is a shame, right?"
"almost."
"But they were actually planning to do this? But things didn't develop as they imagined, so they weren't happy."
"Yes." The little prince nodded, "It's because they feel that they can't see any hope in us or get any benefits, so..." She shrugged, "I'm thankful to my aunt for this. If she hadn't temporarily persuaded the patriarch and elders and allowed me to grow up safely, I wouldn't have appeared in front of you."
"But during this period, they have been making trouble, right?"
"It's time to keep small movements." His Highness waved his hand, "Anyway, lack of food and clothing is normal, and teasing by his peers is not uncommon. It's not until my sister and I recognize each other that this situation improves. They think I should be taken away by my sister and may become a success in the future? In their hearts, it should be that the chickens and dogs are going to rise to heaven. Anyway, they think it's not easy to offend in the future. So, from that time on, the previous small movements stopped. They didn't stop completely, much less than those in the past."
"Are they irreconcilable with the Japanese?" Apiao lay on the table and yawned. It was not that she wanted to be rude in front of the small hall, but that she was too tired to survive this day and she was almost unable to hold on. "Why..."
"They are indeed incompatible with the Japanese, but there are several elders in the clan who are not like this. As long as it is profitable, they don't care who they cooperate with. This is actually very similar to my aunt and Wanyan Qingmu. So, for so many years, they have maintained a very close relationship with the Japanese. Moreover, I guess, it was my aunt who came forward to make a move between Wanyan Qingmu and the Japanese."
"Then..." Hei Lu'er looked at the little prince, "Did my aunt know about this kind of genocide that happened? Or was she actually kept in the dark?"
